Our Value - All inclusive
We strive to provide a better value on all of our trips. Our domestic mountain climbing trips & courses in California include nearly all the gear you will need*. Unlike some other companies, we don’t “nickel and dime” you with extra charges for food and gear.
We are a full-service mountain guiding company that is large enough to handle complex logistics around the world yet small enough to provide personal attention. All at a cost that reflects a better value.
*Shasta trips do not include boots, but all other gear is included.
Your Experience - Personal & professional
When you book a mountain adventure with IAG you will be dealing with the ownership of the company… IFMGA guide Dave Miller & his team. With his 23 years of mountain guiding experience, Dave has personally developed all of our trips and courses himself and is fully invested in their success.
Our mountain adventures have a low guide to guest ratio and low overall group sizes for your enjoyment ensuring you a personal experience.
